The Explorer's heel lever is designed for an easy transition from ski mode to touring mode, and features 4 positions of lift, including a “Super High” setting that'll let you climb in comfort, serenaded by the swearing of your group. For long trips in the backcountry where weight is a major factor, the Explore is a stalwart companion. Included return springs make your kickturns effortless. Sizes: Short—Boot sole length 245-300 mm,Medium—Boot sole length 280-335 mm, Extra Long—Boot sole length 325-365 mm.

I would personally go with the Marker Duke binding. You won't feel like you are as elevated off of the ski. With the Fritschi you will never feel like you are on a pure alpine binding, with the Marker Duke you will often forget you are on a touring binding. The Duke is slightly heavier, but much stronger and more alpine feeling.

Good binding choice,but if you are 95 percent on the hill,you should have a look at the marker Dukes!

Depends on your skiing style and weight as well; if you're a lighter or less aggressive skier, you could get away with these bindings, or if you go Marker you could save some dough and get the Barons instead. If you're going to use them almost entirely for the resort you'd be best off getting some ski brakes as well.

These are pretty user friendly bindings. I've had them mounted for three weeks and climbed 10,000ft of vertical in them. They are easy to lock down into the ski position. The only issue is they are a little heavy and they "click" when you are climbing in them (as opposed to the Dynafit bindings). Overall , I am very happy with my purchase.

I have some pre-2004 Friitschi freeride bindings that I would like to mount on my new much wider BD Verdicts, but you can no longer get brakes for these bindings. Has anyone had any success with bending the brakes from older Fritschis to fit a new wider ski?
